Life-history omnivory in the fairy shrimp Branchinecta orientalis (Branchiopoda: Anostraca)
, 2023 Very little is known about the feeding of naupliar and juvenile life stages of omnivorous fairy shrimps (Crustacea: Anostraca). Here, we aim to reveal whether the fairy shrimp Branchinecta orientalis is an ontogenetic omnivore and at which age and ...

Mitochondrial DNA regionalism and historical demography in the extant populations of Chirocephalus kerkyrensis (Branchiopoda: Anostraca). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundMediterranean temporary water bodies are important reservoirs of biodiversity and host a unique assemblage of diapausing aquatic invertebrates. These environments are currently vanishing because of increasing human pressure.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Long distance dispersal of zooplankton endemic to isolated mountaintops--an example of an ecological process operating on an evolutionary time scale. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Recent findings suggest a convergence of time scales between ecological and evolutionary processes which is usually explained in terms of rapid micro evolution resulting in evolution on ecological time scales.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Growth and haematological parameters are used in aquaculture as indicators of the health of cultivated fish in response to changes in diet and the physicochemical conditions of the water. In this study, the physiological status of Totoaba macdonaldi was evaluated based on growth, haematological parameters and blood chemistry in response to two
